Fair enough, there are some shared data items that have RMW
accesses in both the Call and Reply path.

I agree that some day we want to escape from the single-thread
workqueue paradigm.
I don't think this usage will generate a lot of contention now,
but it will pull the lock's cache lines away from the hotter
users on occasion.
Also, I think a per-session lock is more self-documenting to
show precisely what fields are being protected. I've often
had to look at breaking up a larger lock and found it hard
to figure out exactly what needs protection and why.
Thus I like per-session locking a little better, with a brief
comment that explains the locking design. (It's not a strong
preference, but I think we will be better served going forward).
